History

Kani Department was created in 2009 as a second-level subdivision via a split-off from Séguéla Department.[http://www.statoids.com/yci.html "Regions of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)"], statoids.com. Retrieved 16 February 2016. At its creation, it was part of Worodougou Region.

In 2011, districts were introduced as new first-level subdivisions of Ivory Coast. At the same time, regions were reorganised and became second-level subdivisions and all departments were converted into third-level subdivisions. At this time, Kani Department remained part of the retained Worodougou Region in the new Woroba District.
